Snapwire

Snapwire is a platform that connects a new generation of photographers with brands that need authentic, custom imagery. Instead of uploading stock photos and hoping they sell, photographers on Snapwire respond to specific creative briefs (Challenges) posted by clients like Google, Hootsuite, and Red Bull. This "on-demand" model provides clear direction and higher potential payouts.

Winning photographers earn a significant portion of the budget set for the challenge. Additionally, photos that aren't selected for the custom brief can still be added to the Snapwire stock marketplace for passive sales. It is a legitimate platform for talented mobile and DSLR photographers to land commercial work.
